Melanie Fiona - This Time ft. J. Cole

[Verse 1: Melanie Fiona]
if only you knew all the love i had inside
if only i told you
that you were my greatest pride
if only i showed you just how good you made me feel
maybe i wouldn’t be alone and you would be right here but
i don’t wanna do it over
the first time has gone away
you can’t rewind the past
all i can do is say

[Hook:]
this time, i’m doing much better
love you like i never
ever loved you before
oh baby, not this time
i’m giving my heart and soul
that i reach out for my love
if you say yes i’ll give you my best
this time

[Verse 2: Melanie Fiona]
this time, i’m gonna be stronger
this time i’ll do it all the way
this time i’ll be a better woman
this time i won’t get in my own way
i could go back you never would have gone
if i knew then what i know now
i’ve told you all that i’ve built for you in my heart
in my head i know what i should’ve said
i know what i shoulda did
but i don’t wanna do it over
the first time is gone away
you can’t revive the past
all i can do is say

[Hook:]

[J. Cole]
if looks kill then melanie you a felony
we both hot i guess we couldn’t take the jealousy
all in my ear i had my homeboys telling me
how to be a player, we fell off like bill bellamy
mtv shhh, we used to watch law and order, nbc shh
but now i’m watching solo on some empty seat shit
thinking of you, i got a lot more drinking to do
reminiscing, though i seen it coming
yeah i had a premonition
right beside each other and somehow it felt distant
lets rewind back when days sunny like liston
smile just glisten, your booty like a cushion
is this the moment where we making up
and realise we tripping forever breaking up
and then i break you off, put you to sleep know its deep
when the girl of his dreams is the same one to wake him up

[Hook:]
